HENRY W. KRUGER, OF ABERDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA.

GLOBE-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented sept. 5', 1916.

Application led May 10, 1916. Serial No. 96,675.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY W. KRUGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Aberdeen, in the county of Brown and State of South Dakota, have invented a new and useful Globe-Holder, of which the following is a specification.

The device forming the subject matter of this application is adapted to be used for connecting a globe with a holder.

The invention aims to provide a simple but eflicient means whereby, by simply bending a strip of wire or other material about a globe, the globe may be adapted to be assembled with a pedestal.

With the above and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings z-Figure 1 shows in side elevation, a pedestal and a globe embodying the present invention; Fig. 2 is a side elevation wherein parts have been broken away and sectioned; and Fig. 3 is a cross section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.

In the drawings, the numeral l indicates a pedestal provided at its upper end with a collar or socket 2. In the upper edge of the collar or socket 2, at diametrically opposite points, notches 3 are formed, the notches being inclined so that they extend circumferentially of the collar.

The numeral indicates a lamp globe including a reduced neck 5 received within the collar 2 and resting on the upper end of the pedestal l.

i A strip preferably in the form of a single length of wire is passed once and a half around the neck 5, the ends of the wire 6 being bent outwardly to form oppositely disposed arms 7 which may terminate in eyes 8, permitting the globe to be manipulated readily.

The arms 7 are placed in the notches 3 and the globe t is given a slight turn, whereupon the globe will be held to the pedestal 1 against upward movement.

In order to prevent the globe 4 from rotat- Copies of this patent may be obtained for ing about a vertical axis, thereby displacing the arms 7 from the notches 3, a hookedshaped latch 9 may be pivoted at 10 to a lug 11 on the collar 2, the latch 9l being adapted to engage with the projecting end of one of the arms 7.

Preferably, the overlapped portions of the wire 6 are not soldered together or otherwise connected, and all that'an operator has to do, in order to adapt the globe for interlocking engagement with the collar 2 of the pedestal 1, is to wrap the wire 6 around the neck 5 of the globe and bend the ends of the wire so that they project in opposite directions to form the arms 7.

Although it has been stated that the wire 6 is passed one and a half times around the neck 5 of the globe 4, it will be obvious that more than a.turn and a half may be employed, provided the arms 7 are disposed in outstanding relation. Generally considered, however, a turn and a half of the wire 6 will be suflicient.

Having vthus described the invention, what is claimed is 1. In a device of the class described, a support including a socket having spaced circumferentially extended notches in its upper edge; a globe in the socket; and a strip completely encircling the globe in a single length and having its ends outwardly extended to form spaced arms received in the notches, the strip being removable with theglobe. v 2. In a device of the class described, a support including a socket having spaced circumferentially extended notches on its upper edge; a globe cooperating with the socket; and a strip completely encircling the globe in a single length and having its ends extended outwardly to form spaced arms received in the notches, the strip being removable with the globe; and a latch carried by the support and engaging one arm to prevent the globe from moving circumferent-ially.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aiiixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

HENRY W. KRUGER.
